The Class 3A and 4A girls basketball are in the thick of things with sectional championships on the line tonight. Sportstownchicago saw Mother McAuley and Whitney Young earn convincing victories their sectional semifinal wins. Young defeating Bogan 66-26 while forcing 39 turnovers, looks to be the team beat as they are ranked number 2 by the Sun Times for a reason. Mother McAuley defeated St. Ignatius 57-44 in a battle of Catholic League regional winners. Now it will be Catholic vs. Chicago Public as the Mighty Macs try to pull of the upset over the Dolphins and advance to the supersectional at St. Xavier.
The boys begin their playoffs next week, but we will not wait to get another game in for Friday Night Hoops. We had a thriller last week with Wheaton Academy nipping host Aurora Christian 67-66, avoiding their second loss of the season. This week we return for the second time to East Aurora (20-5) to see them take wrap up the season with an Upstate 8 crossover game against Batavia (13-11). East Aurora is currently ranked number 18 by the Sun Times and has won the Upstate 8 Valley title.
